Interviewed upon his arrival here from Nanking yesterday, Mr. Tangnament, will be Yu-jen, vice-Minister of Foreign
Affairs, sald that Mr. Huang was in a very depressed mood and he had expressed his determination not to return to Peking, when he visited him at Mokanchan last week. The reason. for Mr. Huang's unequivocal decision to resign, Mr. Tang explained, is that the public, has failed to grasp the real and fundamental problems in North China, but is severely critical over the side issues. For this reason, Mr. Huang finds the whole situa- clon extremely difficult of solution. Mr. Huang, in his telegram of resignation to the Government, has explained in detail the dinculties attending his position, which, Mr. Tang said, are fully appreciated by the Central authorities. However, in view of the serious situation of the country as a whole, Mr. Tang concluded, the Government cannot attend the loss of his service and
